Sun dials don't work on the globe model. Axial tilt would cause the solar noon shadow to point in drastically different directions through the 4 seasons. (media.scored.co) Discussion

OMG. Did you have geometry classes in your school?

You will have ±15 min precision during a year if you put a stick parallel to Earth axis, and not like on your picture. You could take a globe, glue stick parallel to rotation axis and suddenly find out that now stick shadow do not change its angle when you simulate orbiting the sun.

If you repeat on the Earth what is shown in your meme, you will get ±1 hour precision from vertical stick at same latitude. On the planet with 30° inclination as in the meme, instead of Earth's 23°, you will get ±1.5 hour precision, if that planet will have same rotation speed as Earth.

Well, this is yet another funny example when FE apologist did not even bother to find out how things works before making some statements about that thing. This is even more hillarious than that thread when they thought that gyroscope in mechanical aviahorizons is a source of plane orientation data, when in reality gyroscope in aviahorizons is used as a ~10 minute dumper for a plummet. :)

Is it a kind of infectious disease among your kind? Why you don't want to learn how things work? Or your goal is just shit on every forum where something out-of-narrative discussed? Do you know what people did with well poisoners at the time?
